Kudos Korner

 

We are all glad to hear that injured student Grace Wyatt is making good progress...

From Grace's Mother:
Grace is now at the Cleveland Clinic Rehab facility at Euclid Hospital. It is directly on Lake Eire in Cleveland, a beautiful facility with her room overlooking gardens and the Lake. She is making progress. Most of her left side has returned, except her foot and toes. SheGrace Wyatt can walk quite well with a brace and walker now, which is a big improvement. She has some short term memory issues as well as complex problem solving but is working with a speech therapist daily, as well as working daily with a physical and occupational therapist.

We are hoping to move her home soon to Chardon and continue outpatient rehab. Grace really wants to return to school and all the things she loves to do, so we are hopeful that by the Fall she will back at Hocking.

For ongoing updates on Grace's recovery visit:
